We have received the annual report of the Commis. sioners.of Kmigration for the year ending December 31, 1863. We are glud to see that, notwithstanding the ser rible devastations of war within our borders, the increase of emigration to the port of New York for the year just closed has been very great, being more than double that of the year 1862, which also showed an increase over that Of 1861. The whole number of emigrants arrived at this pert alone was 80,538 more than in the preceding year. The whole number of passengers landed at this port during the year 1663 was 194,377. Of these 37,533 were citizens or persons not subject to bonds or commutation, ana 156.844 were aliens. TLis sbows an incroase in alien emigrants of 86,538 over 1862, 91,515 over 1862, and 61 ,682 over 1860. The total number of emigrants from the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland to these shores since ewigration actually began is put dowa iu the report at 2,750,874 souls. , But a recent statement from British official sources gives the number emigrating to the United States in the forty six years, from 1815 to 1860, a8 3,048,206. Ip the same period of forty-six years it is aleo stated that 1,196,621 persons emigrated from the United Kingdom (o the Britieh colonies in North Ameri ca. A large cumber of these are known to bave even- tually settled in the United States. Thos it appears safe to aseume that sivce the close of the last war with that country, in 1814, aboot three and a quarter millions of the natives cf Great Britain and Ireland—‘*a population for @ kingdom”—bave emigrated to this country, Next in magnitude is tbe migration from Germany, amounting to 1,486,044 Dy our custom house returns, The next is that from France—208,063. A large ebare'of the German emigrants embarked from the port of Havre; others from Bremen, Hamburg, Antwerp, and so op. This constantly increasing tide of emigration is very en couraging. It showe that, notwithstanding the desperate efforts which are being made in Furope to deter the peo ple from bettering their condition by coming to this Iand of plenty and:of freedom, their wiser judgment and tbe experience of those who bave preceded them have obtained the mastery. The great increnge of the population is dueto the fact that here, more than anywhere else, every man may fibd occupation according to bis talents, and enjoy re sources according to bie indasiry. Employment is open and inviting ‘9 commerce, man tures and the arts; and a8 Wese flourish, agriculture is promoted and made remuperative and profitabie. The certainty wi b has Ditberto attended the efforts of the indestrious emigrant to our shores has bad the éffect of attracting the people ‘of afl vations to a country known to be fertile, with land beyond tbe capacity of the people to till, aad consequent- ly cbeap, and institutions which have been proof against thoge sudden revolutions #0 destructive to the merais, ia. dustry and economy of a nation. Next, perhaps, in ef. fect, 18 the consciousness that it ever has been the aim of our government that the reeources of the country sbou'd tend to the advantage of the people, in whore numbers and proepersty consist the wealth, diguity and power of the government. rt Sing A GERMAN BOOTS AIS DOG AND THEN BLOWS HIS OWN BRAINS OUT. A somewhat remarkable case of suicide by shooting took place at 647 Broadway on Friday, and the particu. lars were developed before Coroner Wildey yenterday afternoen. Tt appears that for about six months past a German of scientific attainments, and a civil engineer by profession, named Jb'r F. A. de MeyVon Alkmade, has occupied apartments on the third fldor of the above named premises. He was an exceedingly fine looking, gentlemanly man, very qciet in his manners, but was io the habit of indulging too freely in spirituous liquors. On Sonday last be was arrested by the Eighth ward police for wtoxication, and Jastice Dodge, before whom he yas thee, eioeed & fine of ove bow a ag was promptly paid an woner discharged. rida: af Mary O'Hara’ the chambermaid, entered ihe roome of Mr. Voo Alkmade with a key for the pur- pose of putting them in order, but she was ee ened out of her senses on opening the door to Mr. ‘Von Aikmade lying ov the floor, with his bead in a poo) of blood and o three barrelled pistol! by bis left side. The maid instantly gave an alarm, when several pereons ran to the room ‘and made an examination. On a pile of clothes in a rocking cbair jay the remains of a young bull terrier dog belonging to deceased, the brute having been ehot through the head. Von Alkmade terres the Dieed ing dog oD the clotbes to prevent the bi from run- Dibg over the floor, This matter being disposed of to bis satisfaction, Von Alzmade took pistol in bis band and, Fecoring a position !n front of a large mirror, placed the muzzle of the weapon to hia forebead and dis- charged jt, ibe bullet penetrating 1 base of the ‘Drain and causing instant death.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP HAVAMA, Aé@itional in Regard te the St. Domingo Question. Increasing Feeling of Uneasiness im Cuba. BESCUB OF SIIPWRECKED de, ae. ‘The steamshtp.Havana, “apteim Greene, from Now Or- Jeans, and Havana tbe 14th imstant, arrived at this port yesterday, BMIGRANTS, a Our Hav St. Domingo— Fresh Instructions from Spain— 4 Pretended New Feature of the War—Emissaries in Cuba—Growing Uneasines—Spanish Prisoners Surrendered by the Do minicans, de. , Fe. The rumors which I reported 10 you a couple of days since bave given me much to do, and! now find that the truth in regard to them amounts to thie:—Thera had been a determination to suspend operations uni.) further instructions should be received from the bome government, It appears that General Gendara’s reports, made by him here in person, were 60 discouraging as to induce this action op the part of our superior authorities, who had reaolved that Generai Gandara chould at once proceed to Spain and lay bis etatements before the Queev’s misters. In the meantime, however, a Dominican gene- ral, Don Felipe Alfau, brotbe® of ex-President Abad Alfan, arrived from Spain with tresh instructions, which order the vigorous prosecation of the war, under ang cir- cumetances, and to the last disposable man, if necessary. This, therefore, changes the programme once more, and the expedition to Morte Cristi will accordingly depart, an- dor the command of General Gandara, But this obedience to government instructions will not prevent the cending of Gen. Gandara’s report, which may bave the effect of ipducing the government of her Majesty to alter its views once more on the gide of peace and ecouomy. A mail steamer will leave for Spain to-morrow, and witt, no doubt, carry most important despatches from here. If there be in the Spanish Cortes an opposition as cour- ageous 8 that in the French Chambers, which poured such a vigorous fre of eloquence on the Emperor’s Mexi- can policy, there is now a splendid opportunity to make capital out of this Dominican question. Every man who understands the welfare of Spam must be in favor of ap early abandonment of that burdensome colony, which ‘will go on swallowing up the flower or the Spanish army and all the means at We disposal of the government, with- out tbe siightest hope of ap adequate return. If aman witb the enlightenment and sound practical sense of Genera) Prim, for instance, were to head euch ap opposi- tion, the good of Spain would uoquestionably triampb. ‘Another curious report, which I get from a reliable quarter, is that the insurgents now re themselves in arms more against Santaua than the Spanish SS. and say that if Baer, formerly a popular » be gent to govern them, even in the name of Spain, they will lay down their arms and submit. This borders on the incredible, yet J am assured it is true, and give it to you for what it may be worth. Part and parce! of this extra- ordinary repsrt is the declaration made by the frends of ‘Santana, that if Baez is sent they will not recognize bim, but will rise in revolt, acting the came part for Santans as the iosurgents are now doing for Baez Jf these re- ports be true, it changes the whole complexion of the war, and from a etruggie for independence reduces it to a paltry facti nal war. But they cannot be true; for the remedy would be within easy reach of the Spanish goy- ernment—by removiag both favorites from the island, thus giving bo offence to the friends of either side, by strict impartiality. Besides, the story comes too late to expect to find believers, even among the most credulous. Tt is true Santana has many enemies who would naturally seek hie destruction by taking op arms with the insur- nie, among whom there may also be many friends of 102; but that the war is carried on exclusively for or por ae or the other of those individuals cannot be credited. But really the question is much more serious than the bome government appears to consider. is po know ing what “ef bappen in Cuba. There isadeep and grow- ing fee! neasivess among the people of ibe well ascertained fact that incendiary emiesaries are at work, while the defences of the island are being continually weakened by the constant drain ops the gar- rigon io order to keep up a war the pet result of which can be gummed up ip the word ‘‘defeat.”” Suppose the Begroes 1 Cuba were to rise. | Jeave you to imagine the Pryipisal prey ces to Spain, to say nothing of the rightful ecent t would be enacted, The isivnd might be lost to Spain. More unlikely things bave occurred. This is @ powerful argument against continuing (be war, and] respectfully call the attention of Spanish journalists and politicians to the same, in regara to which, if they take tbe trouble to inform themeelyes tho:ough:y, they will find a great deal more truth than I bave cared to tell, Let the local government bere be called upon for information concerning these emissarier, let that report published, and it will then be seen that there is cause foralarth acd the utmost prudence.

To-day is devoted to speech making. SYRECH OF MR. ARNOLD, OF 11.12NOM Mr. ARNorD, (rop.) of Ii., addressed the committee cp the subject of reconstruction. Freedom is the corner stone, Lincoln the architect, and national unity without slavery, and the couetitution the Magna Cbarta, eecuring liberty as the aim of the admivistration. The fearful error of uniting free and slave States must not be repeated. Mr. Arnold discussed, first, ibe relations of the rebel States to the pationa! government: secondiy. tbe duty of the Execative, and, thirdly, the duty of Congress. The status of the rebel States is that of traitors and public enemies, and they may be treated as such. The Fxecutive moet govern the country se commander of the army, until Corgrese provides some other covercment, or the people themselves organize local State governments and ore admitted to the Union. The President by the amuesty proclamation invites the co-operation of Con- gress in restoring cational unity. To have unity the cause of Our divisiont—slavery—must be removed Ke. move slavery and “Yankee Doodie”’ will again rescund through all Dixie land. Mr. Arnoldreplied to Mr Prooke’ declaration that slavery is dead. It is net dead, bot in @ dying condition, and needs a few more biows from the rail gplitters of flimois to end its existence. Tet us bave immediate emancipation end amend the constitution hibiting slavery forever. Mr. Arnold deprecated divisions among the friends of the loyal cause. With Lincoln as Presi dent, Chase io the Treasury and Grant commanding cur armies success is certain. Ag to the Presidency. the peo- ple have already settled the question. Livcoln is the choice of the peop'e, because they recognize in him the apostle of liberty. SPRRCE OF MR. WILBON, OF IOWA.

One of the journals cf that party, claiming to be the firet paper in the Southwest to nomi. pate Abraham Lincoln for a second l’residential term, maiftains that Louisiana will have an tofiucoce io the’ Republican National Convention far beyond the mere weight of the vote of ber delegation, and that if there were no other reasons to determine her veice on tl Presidential question, ‘the fuct that the leaders of 1 Flanders faction are Mr. Chase's most ardent supporters here, would settle it beyond all doubt.” As the next Prosident is quite certain to de a mililary man, bie supporters can epjoy the sport which the advo- caves of civiliaus create by their controversies as to the merite of their rival cavdidates. So let the factions war upon each otber, while the people determine to repudiate them all. SALE OF TOSTAL CURRENCY.
